Changing The Default Appearance Of Disabled Buttons?
Feb 22, 2010
The application Im working on has a navigation menu that uses buttons that are pure black with no edges. This means that it is quite hard to tell if a button is disabled or not, based on the standard changes to a disabled button. Is there any way to change the appearance of the buttons when they become disabled; changing the background color, for example? If so, how do I go about it?
I have a nested masterpage and in the childpage of the second master I have a treeview. Now I want to change appearence of the nodes in it (like the color), and I´m not able to do that. It doesn´t say anywhere if there´s a section of the css stylesheet that´s being applied.
My Master Page has a heading with tabs. The code looks something like:
<CT:Tab ID="tabHome" runat="server" Url="/index.aspx" Text = "Home" Highlight="true" /> <CT:Tab ID="tabFun" runat="server" Url="/fun.html" Text = "Fun"/> <CT:Tab ID="tabBlog" runat="server" Url="/blog" Text = "Blog"/>
I can think of two ways to control which tab is highlighted from within a user control:Have the user control implement an interface. The master page can decide which tab to highlight based on which interface is implemented, or based on a method in the interface that returns a string.In the Page_Load (or Page_Init) function, tell the master page (via FindControl or via a function in the Master Page) which control to highlight.I don't really like either of these solutions. Is there a clean way I could control which tab is highlighted from the control at design time (i.e., in the aspx file)?
We have a problem on a new server where disabling a themed button loses its theme. This happens consistently on all buttons now.
We just switched to a new iis server 7.5 using asp.net framework 4.0
Before, the buttons through out the website have a nice style/theme. These are not set inside each button and there are no classes set specifically for buttons I dont think but I believe inherit the theme from I believe the web.config in either:
All the buttons did display a nice light blue gradient, and when disabled they go a few shades lighter blue
For some reason now in .net framework 4.0 all disabled buttons seem to lose their theme and become the default grey color. Enabling them again brings its theme back
I posted the question below, and then discovered that the code I posted does work, if the button is not in the GridView header. In fact, I can't seem to make the button in the header do anything.As long as I can trigger the sort, I can make this work somehow, but ideally, I'd like the mechanism to be in the headers.Any ideas on why that button isn't working? Original message:I've got a GridView bound to a SQLDataSource, and have sorting enabled. This works great, but some of my users will have JavaScript disabled, and the page has to have the same functionality for them.
I've looked into sorting a GridView without JavaScript, but all the solutions I've found assume that I'm NOT binding to SQLDataSource - because of course, If I were, I'd just enable sorting. So I wind up back where I started.Is there a way for me to enable sorting for both regular and non-JavaScript users? I know one option is to install buttons instead of the header links, which would be fine, but I have no idea what my code should look like. I took a wild guess and tried:
[Code]....
...where "ColumnA" is the sort expression. I know I'd have to check the current sort direction for the Gridview and reset it - I just wanted to see if this would work at all, and it didn't seem to do anything. I also have both CausesValidation and UseSubmitBehavior set to False, since I just want to sort.
I have a asp:listbox with 5 items in it. By default the list box is disabled. (i.e it only shows the items in it but user cant do anything with these items.) I have to make the color of these items in the list box to red but when the listbox is disabled the items are defaulted to the gray color. Any idea how I can change the color of the items in the disabled list box ?
I have a problem with CascadingDropDown... I have two related comboboxes, where the second is a slave of the first (e.g. country the first, cities the second). What I want is that if I select one country from combobox 1 then the second must be "filtered" by that selection (it should display all the cities inside the selected country, and the actual CascadingDropDown implementation is OK), but if I leave the combobox 1 in the default option (e.g. "Please select a country") I want the second to display all the cities I have in the database. The problem is that when selecting default option for combobox 1 the second combobox is disabled and a postback to my webservice never occurs.
We have recently bought a website that was programed in .asp. Every website page has a line of code that allows it to use the Meta title tag found in the 'Maincontent.master' file. This sample is taken for the about us page;
I want to each page to have its own unique title tag, however I am struggling to implement this. I have tried removing the above line and replacing it with a standard title tag line i.e. <title>About us</title> but when I do this it kills the page completely. how I could replace the above with a unique title tag, or is it not that simple? Descriptions and keywords are not a problem as they are already individually setup; it's just the page title
I basically have quite a large site collection with various site and sub sites that all contain their own document libraries. I need to change the default view of each document library to include the following fields:
Checked out to.
Check in comments.
This is ok as I have written an app that will loop through all existing lists and do this however is there a way I can change the template for a document library so that any future lists that are created will automatically contain these two fields in the their default view?
I just created my first MVC2 project using the standard template. I need to be able to change the default browser for my project to test in IE (I use chrome as the default on my OS). Unfortunately, the right click on default.aspx suggestion which worked in MVC1 can't work with these new projects as they don't have that file.
I've run into a strange problem regarding default buttons in master pages and IIS7 rewrite module. All my content pages have default buttons set in the code-behind (on prerender), or they are in panels on the aspx page. This works fine on my local machine and on the production server. However, when I enable IIS7 URL Rewrite, the default button is always to the one in the master page.
I would like to change the default "target" for Link in HTML Editor. By default it is set to "Current Window", but I want to set it to "New Window" by default. Is it possible for HTMLEditor Control?
I like to change the mouse as hourglass when the user click on the "search" button until the data is loaded in a datagrid. Then change the cursor back to default. I found many posts to change the cursor to hourglass but found nothing to change it back again to default after firing the button code. So I tried the following in the page_load() event,
It works fine, the mouse changes to hourglass when i click the button and then once the datagrid is loaded it is changing it back to pointer but when i move the cursor it is again changing back to hourglass. it looks like it is working but not.
very first when the page loads the focus willl be on the next button, when i try to enter the text in the text box, focus changes from the next to the previous button (Previous button is the first button i have).
Here is the thing. I have an aspx page with NO master page. I have two resource files with the same name (and specifying the language) in the App_LocalResources folder. If I do something like text="<%$ Resources:lblUser %> works fine. What I do to test it is change the browser's selected language.
But, if I do the same in a MasterPage or in a Page that is inside a MasterPage... when changing the Browser's language and refreshing... I'm still getting the default language...
I've been reading some threads about this but the situation was a little bit different.
I'm trying to set the appearance of a Login web control, but I'm having quite a few problems. As far as I can tell, I've set everything correctly, but for some reason control still isn't displayed correctly:
a) The width of the two TextBox controls ( with IDs UserName and Password ) should be equal to 70% of table's width, but it isn't, even though I've set their width attributes.
b) If table cells containing lblPassword and lblPassword controls have their text-align property set to center, then lblPassword and lblPassword overflow. Why is that?
Am running asp.net web application.I need to modify the appearance of my web page..I want to bring a table that contains some labels and textbox to the centre of the page..I changed the align to centre..it is not working...i changed the padding pixels which is in default...it is also not working out...i feel CSS in not applying.
I'm trying to chnage the appearance of asp button control. I defined a style in CSS file and in VS2005 design mode I can see the desired result however it didn't change at runtime.
